Dr. Carol O'Donnell, Director of the Smithsonian Science Education Center, served as an Outside Adviser for a Pew Research Center report that was released on Jan. 9, 2018, which used a national representative survey to understand the issues women face in the STEM workforce. One of the key findings of the report is that while there has been an increased number of women earning degrees and working in the STEM industry, the new study found that women in STEM experience more discrimination at work than women in non-STEM fields.
